Christmas Countdown Poem 2022: 11. Elf on the Shelf on Pesky Poetry


A craze that swept the world,
Putting a stuffed toy on a shelf,
And convicting young wards,
That the elf reports back to the big man.
***
But what if it's true,
And he is watching you,
Smugly from his shelf,
Judging you for himself.
***
Wherever you are,
Wherever it is,
Be on your best behaviour,
As he stays on his.
